Want to create little maps with ramps on them? Sure you do!
I used to draw these kind of things in MS Paint when I was a kid. These are intended to be used at pixel size, but hey, why not make them bigger?
Uppercase is outlines and shadows, lowercase is fill. More Latin contains inverted ramps.
Blocks are configured in three 3x3 squares on a standard QWERTY keyboard. Space is a blank square, underscore and dash are flat squares.

UPDATE: I have altered the letters 'U', 'H' and 'X' in order to increase legibility. - 14/11/11
The outcome of my first Graphic Design project at the University of the West of England. This typeface is based on the designated theme of 'Evil'. As the project developed I began to move away from the rather stereotypical 'dark' imagery commonly associated with evil and approached the topic in a different, light-hearted manner. This led me onto the theme of villainy in popular culture, from film to video games. The classic ghosts of the arcade game Pac-Man are designed with such consideration - they are required to communicate both character and threat to the player, whilst still falling within the limitations of the 1980s hardware. As a result, these creatures personify the concept of 'evil stripped down to its essential forms.'
